Which scientists said this?
As already mentioned, where are the results of the billions that have already been spent? Why keep putting good money after bad? If you don't produce meaningful results, you're not doing your job. Simple as that. Theoretical papers are meaningful only once but that's all that seems to come form the science.

But slashing science budgets makes precisely NO sense what so ever. In a period where developing space travel is becoming ever more necessary to increase our understanding of our universe, in a period where medical sciences are coming on so quickly, at a time where energy production advancements are so important to the immediate future of the species, the cuts are not justifiable in the least.

Climate Change is real. The 'Anthropogenic' part less so. Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant. 400 ppm is still considered a starvation level for plant life. As for impact on climate, the effect of rising CO2 may have been significant in the last century but it is an inverse logarithmic effect, not geometric or linear.

"The logarithmic diminution effect is the likely reason there was no runaway greenhouse warming caused by CO2 in earlier eons when CO2 levels were known to be at levels of several thousand parts per million by volume, (ppmv)."
So I say, more CO2! Best way to feed people is with more agriculture.

You're kidding, right? "Blah, blah, blah...no results."
Your military budget is ~15 times greater than the science budget with trillions being spent in this century alone by Dems and Republican administrations. What about those results? Why keep investing half your budget on military when it isn't producing meaningful results? They're not doing their job and they've just had a healthy budget increase. A pay rise!! Simple as that!
